frothing at the mouth about the scapegoats that they've chosen for us.
With every racist pointed finger I hear the goose-steps getting closer.
They no longer represent us. Is it not our obligation to confront this tyranny?"

Yes, it is. And we do that, not through bloodshed, but by learning how to take care of our emotions. Sounds crazy, huh? Well, go ahead and take a gun to a local seat of government and see how well that works for you. It won't. The only real answer is to learn how to not froth at the mouth about the scapegoats (homosexuals, abortion, immigrants, etc.) that they've chosen for us. To not be so swayed by our emotions that we point racist fingers, deepening the divisions among us. Our emotions control us only when we refuse to take care of them. That's when we're vulnerable to outside influences. And when we're vulnerable to outside influences, we get situations like our current crop of presidential candidates. We continue down this path at our own peril.
